Did you ask for a new setup before the hand?

I bet you forgot.

Don't show hands to good players because it helps them read you.
Don't show hands to bad players because they'll pay just to see what you have and might be more inclined to fold if they think they might get closeure for free.

...and don't forget asking the dealer to rifle them once after taking them out of the machine.

i never blame the other players. its those goddamn [censored] dealers' faults. so i will usually crumple up my cards throw them at the dealer's face and yell out "every single time you [censored] me! when is your shift over?"

this is possibly the funniest thing ive ever read on 2+2. next time i go to bay 101 (not my reg casino), i want to meet u.

on a side note, instead of showing, ask the table to guess ur hand. giggly and grin, announcing they will never guess it. then after the first person guesses any hand, quietly muck ur hand and stop giggling.

The only probably is that it will encourge people to invoke see all hands on you.

Always show

Show the donkey you cards and glare at him for a full minute without mucking. Stand the cards on end and smash them with you fists. Use several hard blows so you knock down at least two players chip stacks. Now maybe you get a time penality for destroying cards (if not take a break) so go play pia gow at $500 per hand. Come back and stand directly over donkey and scream "are you still here!!!, you should be embarrassed and leave". Rack up and go home because you don't want to play in a game with loose unpredictable players. Tight games are more profitable

Stand up and eat one of the cards.

It is okay to show your hands but just not your cards.

The only time I was ever sent home (barred for 24 hours) from CAZ was for biting my cards in half. I'd had my flopped set of Kings beaten in a ridiculous way. Even so, I would've just mucked them if the guy who beat me hadn't started laughing, giggling and needling me. That wouldn't bother me now but it did then. As the cards were headed to my mouth the dealer said not to do it but I did. Floorman sent me home and I tipped him $5 for his trouble. Actually, he did me a favor because I was on mega-tilt right then and he sent me home $800 winner.

Someone around here ought to give OP a serious answer, though. He's got to be wondering what is going on.
